Your Impact

Nolawit, FCLC ’25

“My strong spiritual foundation has guided me throughout my journey, providing the strength to overcome obstacles and pursue my dreams. That’s one of the reasons I chose Fordham—a place that resonates with these values and allows me to integrate my faith into my academic pursuits. The support I have received through these funds will enable me to concentrate wholeheartedly on my education, nurturing my passion and dreams. Thank you for believing in me and for being an important part of my journey. Your impact will resonate with me far beyond my time at Fordham.”

Jenny, GSE ’26

“I chose to pursue my graduate education at Fordham because it has one of the few school psychology graduate programs with a bilingual track. As a Korean American who speaks fluent English and Korean, I always wanted to use my language skills in my career to help culturally and linguistically diverse students. Also, the program has a great reputation for comprehensive assessments, which excited me because, as a big part of a school psychologist’s responsibilities, I can extensively learn in-depth about psychoeducational assessments. Thank you again for helping me pursue and continue my education, so that I can become a well-rounded bilingual school psychologist. Attending Fordham is an important step in achieving my passion and professional goals.”

Luís Otávio, GABELLI ’27

“Your generous support has provided me with a significant opportunity to further advance my academic goals and achieve my dreams. With your support, the financial burden of my education will certainly be eased, which will allow me to save resources to allocate to my personal living costs. I want to thank you for investing in my future and believing in my potential. Your support will not only assist me in achieving my academic aspirations but also empower me to give back to my community and contribute positively to society and the environment. I am committed to using this opportunity to the best of my abilities and achieving academic excellence. Your belief in me has inspired me to work harder and strive for greatness. I am honored to be a part of your scholarship program, and I promise to make the most of this privilege.”

Daniela, FCRH ’24

“Fordham advocates for cura personalis, that is, 'care of the whole person.' With every day that passes, not only do I understand that expression more, I feel it. My knowledge, emotional maturity, and worldviews have been enriched tenfold, and I doubt any other university would have inspired these changes in me quite like Fordham has. Thank you endlessly for allowing me the opportunity to learn as I have, to grow as I have. For as long as Fordham stays with me, your kindness will stay with me too. I’m looking forward to my final years here, but more than that, I’m looking forward to entering the world with the values that Fordham, and therefore, you, have instilled in me.”

Cindy, FCLC ’25

“Since Fordham University specializes in small, intimate classes, I found that it allowed me to connect with my professors one-on-one for additional support and advice, which I had never been able to get at my last school. In addition, Fordham has given me such great career resources that help me to prepare for the near future. Since last semester, I have gained an internship with Glitter Magazine as an entertainment/affiliate writer, and have worked as an event staff member for the New York Giants through Fordham’s Career Center. Without the help of Fordham, I would not have been able to gain these great opportunities in the heart of Manhattan. Thanks to you, I am closer to reaching my goals. I hope shortly I will be able to help students achieve their dreams just like how you have helped me.”

Babalwa, GSAS ’27

“Your investment in my future has not gone unnoticed. I am committed to working hard and making the most of this opportunity. I promise to use the knowledge and skills I gain to make a positive impact in my community and to pay it forward by helping others in need. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support. You have allowed me to change my life and create a better future for myself and those around me. I will always be grateful for your kindness.”

Juliana, GSS ’26

“My experience at Fordham University Graduate School of Education has been enlightening. I have learned with and from professors and peers who inspire me to become the best version of myself, and I cannot wait to make this impact in my future students’ lives. Thank you for supporting me towards reaching my fullest personal and professional goals.”
